NC State University Chancellor Randy Woodson to Retire

Chancellor Randy Woodson, who has led NC State since 2010, will retire at the end of the academic year, ending a nearly 15-year tenure marked by achievements in research, student success, and fundraising. Woodson's departure comes amid turnover in UNC System chancellors, with his successor yet to be named. His retirement follows successes in increasing research expenditures and student retention rates while facing challenges like the Poe Hall situation. The UNC System currently has multiple chancellor vacancies, including ongoing searches at UNC-Chapel Hill, Appalachian State University, and Elizabeth City State University.
